I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Shrivenham for our home move. Our broker informed us that our mortgage company Clydesdale won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unfair competition?
Pre- 2008 most mortgage companies had an appetite for risk which was higher than today. Almost all Shrivenham conveyancing firms would have been on many mortgage company panels. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 carried out a thematic investigation into mortgage fraud which come to the conclusion: know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, lenders have regularly sought more information from law firms relating to their operations and the individuals who work for them as well as set certain criteria such a completing on a minimum volume of conveyancing. Many Shrivenham conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have Unblemished track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Shrivenham is one of the hundreds of locations where the lawyers we list are are approved Clydesdale.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Shrivenham is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Shrivenham are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Shrivenham you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Shrivenham may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
What advice can you give us when it comes to finding a Shrivenham conveyancing practice to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?
If you are instructing a conveyancer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Shrivenham conveyancing practice) it is essential that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We suggest that you talk with several firms including non Shrivenham conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions could be helpful:

If the firm is not ALEP accredited then why not?
I am the registered owner of a ground floor flat in Shrivenham, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. How much will my lease extension cost?

With just 66 years unexpired the likely cost is going to span between £12,400 and £14,200 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations.

You should not move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
I happen to be an executor of my recently deceased aunt’s Will, with a property in Shrivenham which is to be sold. The property has never been registered at HMLR and I'm told that many EAs will insist that it is in place before they'll proceed. What's the procedure for this?
In the situation that you have set out it seems advisable to apply to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. HMLR’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and official copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
